Description

Key Largo (Warner Brothers, 1948). Insert (14" X 36").
This three color rarity is a scarce poster to find! It's rumored
that the entirety of Key Largo was shot on set at Warner
Brothers Studios in a scant 78 days, a feat that only underscores
the professionalism of the movie's amazing cast. Humphrey Bogart,
Edward G. Robinson, Lauren Bacall, Lionel Barrymore, and Claire
Trevor are all featured on this exceptional original release
insert. This very rare insert is one of only two copies we've seen
in that it is not black and red as almost all were printed but this
is in three colors! Why there was a second printing in three colors
and why have so few been seen through the years is a mystery to
collectors. The poster is rolled with a tear in the bottom border
just into the art. There is also some crimping within the poster as
well. From the collection of noted film historian Richard
Schickel. Rolled, Very Fine-.
